Imago Foundation for the Arts (IFA) is featuring photographic abstractions created by IFA exhibiting artist Howard Rotblat-Walker along with the artwork of guest artists Ed McAloon and Hayley Perry through August 25 at Imago Gallery.
Howard Rotblat-Walker’s work in this exhibition is a continuation of a series that was stimulated by his seeing M.C. Escher’s Circle Limit III at Boston’s MFA at the time that he was creating kaleidoscopic iterations. He started researching into Escher’s approach and uncovered a body of mathematical papers and discussion on the underlying non-Euclidian geometry which Escher employed.
Ed McAloon, a mainly self-taught artist who lives and works in Warren, McAloon obtained a certificate in Interior Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and attended classes in glass and metal fabrication.
Hayley Perry studied undergraduate painting at Montserrat College of Art and graduate painting at UMass Dartmouth. She is the founder of Loop by Loop Studio, a small fiber arts business.
IFA is a non-profit organization run by artists for artists whose mission is to inspire creativity and promote art-making that enriches our communities.
